Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image presents a complex number and asks to find , the fourth root of the square of .
Let's break it down:
-
Step 1: Calculate
We need to square the complex number .Expanding this expression:
-
Step 2: Find the fourth root of
We now need to find . To do this, it's easier to convert the complex number into polar form.The complex number can be written as , where:
- ,
- The argument can be calculated as .
So, in polar form:
-
Step 3: Apply the fourth root
To find , we take the fourth root of both the modulus and the argument:- The modulus becomes ,
- The argument becomes .
Therefore, in polar form is:
Simplifying:
Hence, is:
